Eleanor Roosevelt College Honors Program
OFFICE: Provost, Eleanor Roosevelt College,

Honors programs at Eleanor Roosevelt College have been established
to provide exceptionally motivated and capable students with enhanced
educational experiences through close interaction with faculty and other
honors students. There are two main components to the program: the Freshman
Honors Program and the Sophomore Honors Research Project. Participation
in either is by invitation.
In the fall quarter of their freshman year, selected students are invited
to enroll in the Freshman Honors Seminar, a two- to three-quarter course.
During the fall quarter, students meet with a variety of faculty members
to learn more about their research, and about academic enrichment opportunities
at UCSD. The seminar continues during the winter quarter, focusing on
an international theme with faculty speakers. Honors students may receive
opportunities for particular cultural and social events. Second-year
students with GPAs of 3.5 or higher have the opportunity to pursue independent
study with individual faculty.
Additional honors opportunities are offered in the Making of the Modern
World (MMW) sequence. Students with excellent grades in MMW 1, 2, and
3 and high cumulative grade-point averages are eligible to take MMW
4H, 5H, and 6H. Students attend regular course lectures, but meet in
separate honors sections. They may also be invited to special guest
lectures and enrichment activities connected with MMW.
There are also opportunities for university-wide honors, including
provosts honors. Students who maintain a GPA of 3.5 for a full
academic year are awarded certificates of merit by the college. UCSDs
reputation for excellence is also reflected in the numbers of students
who enroll in departmental senior honors programs and who earn college
or university honors or election to Phi Beta Kappa.
